The problem is not with software..
I think the problem is how to understand the behaviour of Explsions to act as a real action on the Building...
If you read ASCE for petro chemical industries code... ASCE defines many types of explosions with different wave effects in behaviuor and intesity...
I did some projects and I used Sap ... By applying time History analysis...
I think Midas and Sap (also Etabs) will be the best software because you can study also the Plastic Behaviour of building during the Explosion (Blast Loading)
